Worm farming and composting

What is worm farming?

Worm farming is a simple way of converting food scraps and other organic material into a nutrient rich liquid run-off and organic fertillser called worm castings.

Please see the Worm Farming brochure for more information.

What is composting?

Home composting is a simple process where naturally occurring bacteria and fungi breakdown organic matter - such as food scraps and garden organics - into a nutrient rich soil-like material that can be used to create and maintain a healthy and sustainable garden that requires less water.

Compost is best dug into the ground where it provides the greatest benefit to plants.
